Global financial institution JPMorgan seems to be quite bullish on the crypto market for 2026. The financial institution expects capital inflow into the crypto market to continue rising this year, after nearly $130 billion worth of inflows were recorded in 2025. The market is showing some signs of a recovery, following a massive crash in October of last year.
JPMorgan’s Bullish Crypto Outlook For 2026 To Push Assets To New Peaks?
JPMorgan chief Jamie Dimon was not sold on the cryptocurrency sector for the longest time. Despite Dimon’s reluctance, the financial institution opened its doors to the budding asset class after increased demand.
JPMorgan is not the only institution that is bullish on the 2026 market cycle. Bernstein and Grayscale also anticipate the cryptocurrency market to surge this year. Both financial institutions have theorized that Bitcoin (BTC) is currently following a 5-year trajectory. This means that the asset may hit a new peak in 2026, five years after its 2021 all-time high. Bernstein predicts that the original cryptocurrency will hit a new all-time high of $150,000 sometime this year.
Barclays, on the other hand, is quite bearish on the cryptocurrency market in 2026. The financial institution anticipates challenges for the crypto market arising from low spot trading numbers and decreasing demand.

The cryptocurrency market is showing some signs of a reversal today. Bitcoin (BTC) briefly breached the $97,000 mark for the first time since November 2025. The move could be a signal of an incoming bullish reversal. Breaking past the $97,000 mark could take BTC’s price beyond the $100,000 level once again.
However, macroeconomic worries continue to bar investors from risky assets. Market participants continue to take a risk-off approach, preferring safe havens such as gold and silver. The cryptocurrency market may continue to struggle until the current pattern changes.
